: I was just wondering what everyone thinks about divers being disqualified if they have body glitter, hair holders on their wrists ect. I think it's dumb. In our state the rules say you can be disqualifed if you have these. We also get a maxium score of 2s if we go in the water with our arms up. What do you think about these rules?
I agree it is dumb not being able to have hair bands on you wrists etc. The FINA rules say you can only get a max. of 4.5 if your arms are above your head. So, I guess the judges are using 4.5 as a ten score and then judging the dive from that. That's the only reason I can see you getting 2's
